“She went ahead and engaged the services of thugs under the leadership of one Happy Boy.

“They really assaulted me and the management of the club dumped me despite the fact that were owing me the sum of  =N=3,280,200 which they are yet to pay till date.

“You know there was detachment on the retinal of the eye. Also blood covered the vision of the eye. So I was not seeing with the eye completely and that is went I go for the surgery.

“I’m using this medium to thank everyone that stood by me before, during and after the surgery. I pray that Almighty Allah continue to guide them.”

The coach is expected to undergo another minor surgery by June 2016.
